if you modify the Tiff file in a graphics editor that strips out the data when you save the file). The libgeotiff utilities are command-line programs that both extract worldfiles and full geometadata from GeoTiff files, and can embed the data back into Tiff files from which that information has been removed (e.g. This utility lets you create one without doing any KML code writing, and also lets you change the position of the overlay and see the modified overlay in real time in Google Earth through a network link. There’s no way to create a ScreenOverlay in Google Earth, so up until now you had to create it directly in KML code. KML screen overlays are graphics that sit fixed in the Google Earth display screen, not draped over the terrain like ground overlays or placemarks/paths/polygons. You can then copy and paste this code into your own KML file. I’ve written a simple utility to offer a third option, that with some limitations can embed time data into any KML file.ĭerived from the above utility, this simple one lets you enter time parameters for a KML TimeSpan or TimeStamp, then generates the corresponding KML code. But there’s no way to enter this data into a KML file using Google Earth you have to either create it in a utility that supports time data, or directly edit the KML file to include it.
Google Earth can use time information embedded in KML files to create animations. I’ve created a simple Windows GUI for those who might find that easier than using the command line.Įmbedding Time Data Into A Google Earth KML File img files using the command-line Java utility Mkgmap. You can convert street map data from the Open Street Map project into Garmin. This utility is a front-end to EXIFTool, which re-writes that GPSVersionID tag to one that Picasa reads and accepts.Ĭonverting OpenStreetMap Data Into GPX Or Garmin. Consequently, Picasa ignores all of the geotagging data embedded in these files. Some geotagging applications (locr, the Microsoft WMMX apps) embed a GPSVersionID tag in the EXIF headers of JPEG files that Picasa can’t recognize. All are free, but if you find any of them particularly useful and would like to show your appreciation, donations of any amount are gratefully accepted via PayPal.Ĭonverting E00 Vector Data To Shapefiles – A Free And Fairly Painless ApproachĬontains the utility ArcInfo2ShapeGUI, a front-end for ogr2ogr that along with the ESRI program Import71 can convert E00 files to shapefile format.Ī GUI For Fixing the GPSVersionID EXIF Tag
